A mediocre picture of a disease-free and extremely reliable rose in my garden in So. Oregon grown since 2012. The very prolific spring flush is followed by almost equally as copious repeats throughout the summer and fall, and there's little if any disease on the foliage. The blooms last a long time on the bush and when cut. The only thing it lacks is fragrance, but it's forgiven since it's one of the best in my garden otherwise.

This picture was shared by my rose friend Janet Sklar in So. Cal. who has grown it for five or six (?) years from a potted up cutting. She says "The plant is always in bloom." This is the first time I've seen "Benny Lopez" grown in a somewhat climbing form. Mr. Lopez grows his plants as standards, I and others I know grow it as a nice big bush, and now Janet shows that it may be one suitable as a climber as well. Time will tell.
